I sneered, "Working 22 hours? Does that include sleeping with him? You're so professional, even taking your work to the bed. At the company's annual awards, we should definitely give you a certificate for Outstanding Employee." Without waiting for her response, I ended the call and blocked her.

Before leaving the hospital, I took the initiative to ask the doctor for the tiny embryo. It wasn't fully formed, but you could faintly see the shape of a small baby.

Holding the glass bottle close to my chest, I couldn't help but tear up. I'm sorry, baby. I had longed for you for so long, but it seems we're not destined to be together.

Taking a deep breath, I resolved that since I was leaving, I wouldn't bear this pain alone. Before leaving, I had one last gift to give Troy.

Returning to the home I had lived in for six years, it was cold and empty. As expected, Troy was likely spending the night with his devoted secretary.

I had no appetite for dinner and my stomach was faintly aching as I lay down by the bedside. I must've dozed off without realizing it.
